Summary: Halloween II, the second half of the first movie
Review: Halloween II does something which I find very unusual for sequels. It picks up at the exact moment when the first movie left off, and Michael Myers continues his bloody rampage through Haddonfield. Donald Pleasance again delivers a fantastic performance as Dr. Loomis, and so does Jamie Lee Curtis, though we (unfortunately) don't see much of her in this one, until Michael finds her and chases her through the hospital. The plot with Dr. Loomis was well delivered, but the moments in the hospital dragged on just a bit, although it does prove that Michael has no regard for life as he systematically eliminates anyone who could stand in his way. The best part of this movie is when Nurse Marion (Nancy Stephens) reveals the truth about Laurie Strode and her relationship to Michael. In retrospect, this makes the first movie make complete sense! I think this is a good movie, but that it's more like the second half of a three-hour movie, than its own individual story.

Summary: Not quite the First Halloween!
Review: I thought Halloween 2 was an enjoyable movie to watch, but it was pretty stupid the more I think about it. Instead of Micheal hiding in the shadows he was always seen walking around. The overuse of blood was so opposite to the original. I still recommend this for a good scare or a good flick to watch on Halloween night.

Summary: HALLOWEEN AT ITS VERY BEST
Review: What a great movie! Suspense and murder galore, and a great plot. One thing I always loved about this movie is that there isn't one mean person in it. You feel sorry for everyone who gets killed. The organ music is incredible, and every time I watch it, it gives me the good ol' chills and winces! All of the hospital instruments were brilliant, particularly the hypodermic syringes and the intravenous tube. The scene where Bennett Tramer is hit by a cop car and roasts is also top notch. Just about every minute of the film is pure, classic suspense. It is the most suspenseful horror film I've ever seen. The only part of the movie I hate is when we see a boy with a razor in a marshmallow that he's eating! Gratuitous and in very poor sadistic taste. Really stupid, too. Thank goodness it didn't last too long.

Summary: Whats wrong with you people?
Review: As I said in my title, what in the world is wrong with you people? This movie has more gore than HALLOWEEN, so what!, thats no reason to give it a bad rating! I mean come on, most of you guys bad mouth the gore in this but give great ratings to such gore fests as the FRIDAY THE 13th and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET movies. Anyway, I thought that this was the best HALLOWEEN sequal ever! I love the fact that it starts off right after HALLOWEEN and that it continues on Lauries story, when could have easily just said that Michael decided to go after someone else. But as in most horror movies I did have some problems with it, #1 the recap of the ending of HALLOWEEN is messed up in a spot #2 the killing at the beginning had absolutaly no reason to it and #3 it doesn't explain how Michael survived all the gunshots and pokings/stabbings in HALLOWEEN. So, in closing, rent this movie and HALLOWEEN 1 so you can watch both one right after the other.

Summary: Underrated sequel
Review: Say what you will about "Halloween II", but Rick Rosenthal's entertaining sequel has premiered on DVD in fine style. Not only is the disc uncut and unedited, it also makes the film widely available in its original Panavision dimensions for the first time since its theatrical release! Arriving on the heels of its well-crafted predecessor, the follow-up is often ludicrously misconceived, and John Carpenter's script has 'contractual obligation' written all over it, but the film remains perversely watchable, not least because it matches the eerie visual quality of the first film in spades, and because it offers a couple of really good scares along the eway. GoodTimes' DVD makes the most of its Dolby soundtrack, and Carpenter's extraordinary theme music will leave a tremendous sonic impression on first time viewers, especially late at night in a darkened room. There are very few extras - an amusing menu page, a couple of subtitle options, and some brief production notes which fail to mention the row between Carpenter and Rosenthal which blew up after the completion of principal photography when Carpenter insisted on adding extra 'gore' scenes to the film. Unfortunately, there's no theatrical trailer, and the disc has been issued in the flimsy 'snapper' packaging which everyone seems to hate, and with good reason - the disc may last forever, but the packaging certainly won't! By the way, is there actually a POINT to the scene involving the kid with the razor blade lodged in his mouth?...

Summary: A terrifying night of butchery!
Review: Uneven sequel to the original, Halloween 2 is mainly set in a hospital. This is the one where we find out that supernatural menace, Michael Myers is the brother of Laurie Strode(Jamie Leigh Curtis)But the ending leaves a lot to be desired as both Donald Pleasence and Myers are supposedly blown up in an explosion in the hospital, thus leaving us thinking both of them are dead. But it will take a few more Halloween nights before Michael gets his comeuppance.

Summary: It was OK
Review: Though this film seems a rather impressive film at first, at second glance you can see how it has destroid the first film. This film goes strictly for gore, nothing else, Halloween was suspense. With a few good moment popping up now and then this film really doesn't have anything new to offer.
Rating:
Summary: A not so good sequel of a classic movie.
Review: Halloween 2 has to be the worst way that they could have continued the story. Jamie Lee has hardly any lines, and the new characters just don't match up to the ones in the original. This movie had the potential to be fantastic, but they blew it with the setting. I don't know where, but they could have easily set it somewhere else. Also, this movie is gore galore, {The Hot tub scene!} It just does not do the job.
Rating:
Summary: GREAT!
Review: I saw this movie when I was 13 and I loved it. It had great acting. It wasn't as good as the originol but still a really great movie to watch on Halloween and with the lights out.
